Artificial intelligence in road transport - Cost of non-Europe report

Staidéar 13-01-2021

This report tries to establish what would be a lost economic benefit in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) and jobs not generated if no action were undertaken at EU level to address the existing gaps relating to liability and protection of users of AI systems in road transport. For these two aspects alone, the cost of non-Europe ranges between €231 097 and €275 287 million. This might have been even higher, however, had the scope of the quantitative analysis been broader. Cost of non-Europe reports analyse possibilities for realisation of a public common good through action at EU level. They try to identify areas that are expected to benefit from deepest EU integration and for which the EU's added value is potentially significant. Artificial intelligence (AI) deployment in road transport is one of the most mature examples of use of AI and one of the most promising in terms of potential benefits that could be brought to the EU economy and society.
